From Ben Shipman:
What do you think, Myles?
This is how it should unfold. April 24th , knocked out of the FA Cup by Man City, nothing else to play for this season.
So Ivan Gazidis says
“As you all know Arsene Wenger’s contract expires at the end of this season and we are actively pursuing a replacement for the new season. Arsene has done a fantastic job for Arsenal over the last 20 years and has overseen the club through some major changes and we thank him for his service.”
Arsene Wenger says:
“I would like to thank the club and fans for their support during my time at Arsenal. No other club in the World could have given me the freedom that Arsenal have and the backing from the board and owners over the last few seasons when we have had some dreadful results has been remarkable. I am truly a lucky man to have managed for so long at one club and at 67 years old it is a good time for me to move on to other things.”
No need to discuss not offering new contracts, no explanation needed from the club about that.
His contract ends, end of story.
Leave with some dignity.
Start approaching the replacements now in time for the summer.
